New Multiplayer Interface

I've played BG a long time and watched the rise and fall of GameSpyArcade, and would love Beamdog to reintroduce the system they were running and improve it which i'm sure can be done by this amazing team.
The GameSpyArcade Multiplayer Client for Baldur's Gate I & II included:
> Clients Automatically Download custom content from the Server
> Seporate Multiplayer Interface
> Interface had out of game chat removing the annoying feature of having your message
flooded by game notifications.
> Interface showed passwords, ping, a padlock if they were password protected
I feel this alone in the BeamDog client would be an amazing feature that all BG players will appreciate.
Why?
> Having a seporate chat allows for much easier party finding.
> A padlock showing password protected servers means you do not have to scroll through a large list
clicking each one to see if they are or not.
> If you could display Servers with Mods/Custom Content this would be more efficient, like Portraits.
> Showing ping also allows you to avoid joining games and waiting for 5minutes just to be told you cannot
connect because of the connection.
> Having a new interface allows for Beamdog to make their own clean version for joining games and it will also
open up new ideas for skins and features which can be used across the BG series.
The list goes on and on but you see where i'm coming from I hope.
